@@ryno7437 had to recount. I remember when it was only 4.

Celibrini seems like a really nice, well spoken kid. With that in mind, a thought from this interview: It's sad to me that almost every kid that makes it to the NHL comes from a rich family now. At least the Canadian kids. Just listening to him talk about his upbringing, and the opportunities and support he had. And I don't begrudge him, or his family that. I'm working hard in my life so that my (future) kids will have it better than I had it. So I'm not trying to dismiss his talent or work ethic, or what he's parents did help get him where he is today. That's the goal, what else do you work for if not to support your family and give your kids opportunities. It just strikes me that you don't hear about too many sons-of-plumbers or mechanics or other working class, or even middle class, families anymore. Hardly an original take from me. Hockey Canada knows the affordability of this sport has been an issue for a long time that just gets worse and worse. And now with summer ice, year round special coaching and skills development for the kids, it's just widening that gap. Have to think that there's a huge untapped pool of potential superstars out there who's parents just can't keep up. Just was pretty striking listening to him talk about his upbringing and family (and he's far from the only one). But again, seems like a very grounded, well spoken, nice young kid, which is a credit to the family as well.

Okposo played like every shift he wanted to outdo his last one. Kind of like doing push-ups where you say "im going to do one more than the most I've ever done, and then you do". I felt like he played his heart out and he didn't score, but he really did grind the other team down. He was way more effective than numbers can show and I was glad he was a part of that run.

Okposo is an absolute gem, what a humble and kind guy

“The schphere”

Full timestamps??? Never thought I'd see the day, much appreciated!

Slaf's hockey IQ was questioned at the beginning of the season. There's no question now, he has solid hockey IQ..watch the games, not the highlights.

Honestly after watching this it's hard not to come away super impressed by Celebrini. Incredibly intelligent kid, he will be a star in the NHL. As a Habs fan it's so exciting to hear the way he speaks about Lane Hutson.

The sharks should trade for Askarov. He fits the time frame of Celebrini, Smith, Eklund, Musty, Mukuhmadullin and Dickinson! I would trade Bystedt, Endstrom or Bordeleau.

The whole Celebrini family was supposed to fly back home from Vegas on Sunday. Macklin had them all leave the next day so he could get a skating session in on Sunday ahead of the Sharks Rookie Camp. The kid is going to be a dawg for the Sharks! 😂

This whole narrative of the Caps significantly enhancing the lineup being labeled as “It’s all for Ovi’s goal chase” is beyond stupid at this point, the Caps are by far the most improved team this offseason and they’re bound to finish 1-3 in the Metro Division and officially are going back into Cup contention. They gained Dubois, Mangiapane, Duhaime, Chychrun, Matt Roy & Logan Thompson. A WC2 team from last season that literally improved every single part of their whole team already this offseason with offense, defense & goaltending while the only departures were 2/3 of their 4th line in Malenstyn & Aube-Kubel and 2 unimpressive players in Patches & Jensen. Malenstyn & NAK leaving is a tough let down given they shaped the best 4th line in the entire league, being put on the ice to go against and shut down any team’s 1-2 top 6 lines & continuously succeeding. But the Caps also have the best AHL affiliate in the entire league but Trineyev & Priskie can be called up from the Bears to complete the 4th line. You know when you enter a new season and your only issue is re-establishing the 4th line, the team is clearly bound for dominant success.

this was all JBB covering his piss poor trade with Jeanotte and selling the farm to get him, plus Jeanotte turning out to be a bust. Stamkos was treated with no class, lied to, and strung along. JBB has no balls to just say to a man, "hey....we arent going to keep you so get ready for free agency". Instead he says during the year, which is understandable, that "we will see how the year goes". Then we get to the end of the year and he says, "my priority is to sign Steven Stamkos". Then he gets rid of Sergachev and says "now we have the cap space to keep Stamkos". Then turns around and signs Guentzel for 9mil. He has 6 mil left and lets Duclair go sign for 3 mil. JBB signed Jeanotte and Tampa had nothing left in the farm to replenish the main team and this was all done to cover his shit. I call it, not as a fan, but as it is!! He is a jerk that has ruined the brand and everything that guys wanted to play for the Lightning for.
